    COLONEL RETIRES AS A RESPECTED COMBAT LEADER…. AND ‘SUPER GEEK’

    Illinois Army National Guard Col. Ron Bonesz, then a lieutenant colonel and Commander of the Bilateral Embedded Staff Team A20, poses for a photo with the Illinois Flag he flew in Afghanistan and Illinois Army National Guard Commander Maj. Gen. Michael Zerbonia after the BEST A20 returned from deployment in 2018. Bonesz of Normal, Illinois, retired in November with more than 28 years of honorable service. During a distinguished career he led Soldiers on three combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, twice as a commander. He was the Illinois Army National Guard’s top personnel officer effectively confronting multiple transitions and issues including major deployments and a global pandemic. He’s been a Military Police officer, served in aviation, operations, logistics, and in the Joint Staff as Security Cooperation Officer. He earned two Bronze Stars and a Legion of Merit. And he's also a "super geek" who went from playing Dungeon and Dragons as a kid to a lifelong love of science fiction and fantasy. (Courtesy photo.)
